Community Health Consultant

We ask individuals in St. Louis and rural Missouri to serve as Community Health Consultants. We are focused on improving health in our communities by listening and responding to individuals with diverse lived experiences.

Lived experiences include:

  • health conditions
  • age
  • race or ethnicity
  • social or professional identity
  • neighborhood involvement

These paid roles vary in structure and time commitment. For example, one opportunity may be for a one-time 90-minute virtual meeting to provide a health researcher with feedback; another may be a 2-year advisory group that meets a few times a year.

Each role is rooted in making sure community voice is elevated, heard and respected.

Become a health consultant

Please take about 5 to 10 minutes to let us know who you are. We will contact you as opportunities matching your lived experience are available.

Washington University in St. Louis employees are not eligible to participate as community health consultants.
